I recently finished my next novel, a detective story with tortoises playing a major role in the book... I'm currently shopping it around to agents and publishers.
While that's going on I've started work on another project, a speculative fiction children's book about the Soviet Zond-5 rocket, which took the first animals around the moon nearly 53 years ago.
The story will be told from the perspective of one of the Russian Tortoises on that historic flight, who was aided in his escape from the lab in which they were imprisoned by a animal-loving custodian, eventually ending up living with a retired teacher in New Hampshire.
I'm excited about both projects, and grateful for all of the wonderful people and information I've found here on TFO.
